Luke Campbell is a 5'9 28 year old Lightweight with a 13-1 11 KO's record. Born in Hull, Yorkshire, United Kingdom and fighting out of Hessle. Luke a Member of the Order of the British Empire is a 2012 London Olympics Gold Medalist in the Bantamweight Division, the first British Gold Medalist since 1961 in the European Championships and is in my opinion one of the brightest young stars in the UK, he's skilled, he's methodical, he's intelligent and he unlike many of his fellow countrymen has the ability to put his opponents down and out at a far higher frequency. Since turning pro in 2013 he's ripped through 12 opponents stopping 10 of them. He has impressive footwork, controls distance very well, and systematically breaks his opponents down with dedicated body work and very accurate straight lefts and right hooks. Lightweight is really starting to heat up in the UK and its only a matter of time before he clashes with Turbo Terry. He's a handsome and charismatic kid who's already done Dancing On Ice and some male modeling in the UK he's a potential breakout star.

BTW don't expect the clash with Turbo Terry to happen anytime soon. Terry is with Frank Wazza, and Campbell is with Hearn. That's like Arum doing business with Haymon. Very unlikely unless their is mega money involved. However fights with Mitchell, Crolla, Burns & Cardle are possible
Not very active for an up & comer. Looked very unimpressive against Coyle - a fruit and veg man. Not impressed. Terry steam rolls him.
Nothing good comes from Hull. I went there once a few years back and even their fish and chips were ****.
Cool Hand Luke bounced back in a big way after his lost to Mendy, by destroying Gary Sykes. He disposed of his ass in sensational fashion, something that Ol' Turbo Terry was incapable of doing. [yt]SU7IYSTX6-I[/yt]
bounced back a hell of a lot better as I expected. but a SD loss (should be clear UD loss though) with KD against a decent operator like Mendy, is different as totally getting you ass handed to you like some big name prospects from the past and present.
He should rematch mendy... he wasn't himself that night, Campbell win at the very least be a world champion. hes a class act, the most successful british amateur boxer ever,
